Microsoft 365 Admin Center – Grant Access to Limited Exchange Online Administrators

Related to this: Exchange Online RBAC – How to limit the read scope of a management role?.

We need to allow some administrators to manage only a subset of all mailboxes in Exchange Online; we achieved this using a management scope.

Everything works as expected if the limited administrators access the Exchange Admin Center (https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com); however, they are unable to access the main Microsoft 365 Admin Center (https://admin.microsoft.com). It looks like in order to access that you have to be granted one of the standard Microsoft 365 admin roles: having only an Exchange-specific custom role will not help you.

How can we allow those limited administrators to access the Microsoft 365 Admin Center (without granting them additional rights, of course)?

Best Answer

You can assign the global reader role to users who need to be limited.

Assign the global reader role to users who need to view admin features and settings in admin centers that the global admin can view. The global reader admin can't edit any settings.
